Huneed And Latécoère Demonstrated Li Fi Technology For Ships At The Seoul ADEX 2021

ADEX 2021 was recently held for few days. In that exhibition, Huneed Technologies and French Groupe Latécoère demonstrated Li Fi systems uses for ships.

Huneed Technologies

Founded in 1968, Huneed Technologies is a Korean developer and manufacturer of airborne systems, and defense communication systems. As a key provider of harnesses and panels for airborne systems as well as key tactical communication equipment and control systems for the ROK military along with an array of other solutions and services, Huneed has quickly established itself as a proven commodity and an industry asset in a fierce market.

Built on initiative, innovation, and grit, Huneed has worked relentlessly to achieve excellence in the way we do business from top to bottom. To this end, Huneed has built a reputation as a trusted partner. We know the importance of partnership and are dedicated to industry cooperation and mutual growth to create business opportunities and success through alliance. Huneed boasts a host of global and local Industry partners including Airbus Defense & Space, Airbus Helicopters, Safran, Korea Aerospace Industries, Northrop Grumman, and ROK armed forces.

A spokesperson for Huneed stated to Naval News that “Li-Fi technology uses light instead of radio waves. This gives it a multitude of advantages over other communications technology,”.

“Li-Fi is around 10 times as fast as traditional communications systems. Moreover, radio waves from traditional communications systems, such as WiFi, can be intercepted quite easily. Because Li-Fi uses light to transmit information, it is impossible to intercept.”

Huneed Technologies and Groupe Latécoère, on the one hand, and SK Telecom, on the other, are competing against one another to be selected as the supplier for communications systems on Republic of Korea Navy vessels. “Our system is much cheaper than the LTE alternative being offered by SK Telecom,” the spokesperson said.

Despite these advantages, the system still has its shortcomings. To begin with, if an object blocks the light from reaching the receiver, communication can be disrupted. Moreover, Li-Fi has limited range due to the system based on light.

“We’ve worked to attenuate these weaknesses,” the spokesperson continued. “Our latest system can emit light across a wide area so that communication will not be easily disrupted by objects. Moreover, we plan on increasing the system’s range to almost two kilometres within the next two years. This means that Li-Fi will even allow communication between ships, in addition to communication between different parts of a single ship.”

What is Li Fi?

Li-Fi, also known as "Light Fidelity" is a wireless optical networking technology, which uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to transmit data. In 2011, professor Harald Haas made a Li-Fi demonstration at the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Global Talk on Visible Light Communication (VLC).

VLC uses light as a medium to deliver high-speed communication like Wi-Fi and complies with the IEEE standard IEEE 802.15.7. The IEEE 802.15.7 is a high-speed, bidirectional, and fully networked wireless communication technology-based standard similar to Wi-Fi's IEEE 802.11.

How does Li Fi work?

Li-Fi is a high speed, bidirectional, and fully networked wireless communication of data using light. Li-Fi constitutes of several light bulbs that form a wireless network.

When an electrical current goes through to a LED light bulb, a stream of light (photons) emits from the lamp. LED bulbs are semiconductor devices, which means that the brightness of the light flowing through them can change at extremely high speeds. The signal is sent by modulating the light at different rates. The signal can then be received by a detector that interprets the changes in light intensity (the signal) as data. Also when the LED is ON, you transmit a digital 1, and when it is OFF, you transmit a 0.

Li Fi Benefits

The primary benefits of Li-Fi are as follows:

• Security: Provides entirely secure access. Where there is no light there is no data.

• Safety: Does not produce electromagnetic radiation and does not interfere with existing electronic systems.

• Localisation: Allows localisation due to the small coverage area of Li-Fi access point - localisation can be used for very precise asset tracking.

• Data density: Provides ubiquitous high-speed wireless access that offers substantially greater data density (data rate per unit area) than RF through high bandwidth reuse.

PureLiFi Tells LEDs Magazine That “Laser Light Will Better Serve LiFi”

PureLiFi Tells LEDs Magazine That “Laser Light Will Better Serve LiFi”

pureLiFi

This week, pureLiFi recently informed LEDs Magazine that “laser light will better serve LiFi,” and is currently working on a laser-based “Light Antenna Module” for embedding into consumer devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, etc…

pureLiFi develops technology for communication networks that integrates data and lighting utility infrastructures. It offers a LiFi enabled device that converts the beam of lights into an electrical signal. The signal is then converted back into data. The company was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Edinburgh.

The move to laser chips could well become the industry’s “shooting star” moment, replacing the propellers of LEDs according to a recent article from LEDs Magazine.

“New technologies such as laser light…will better serve LiFi component and system companies to ensure that breakthrough innovations in the lighting devices industry are readily linked to LiFi so that lighting and LiFi become inseparable from the start,” a pureLiFi spokesperson told LEDs Magazine after their recent article in which they pointed out that co-founder Haas had surfaced as an advisor to laser stalwart Kyocera SLD, which is helping to develop a laser LiFi system for the aviation industry. Haas is also pureLiFi’s chief scientific officer.

LEDs Magazine further asked pureLiFi whether the company itself was embracing a switch to lasers.

The spokesperson further said that the Light Antenna Module, released in 2021, uses an infrared laser chip. The module is intended to be small enough to reside inside smartphones and is available to device makers. PureLiFi is also positioning its laser components for use inside the access points that send and receive data to and from those devices, the spokesperson told LEDs Magazine.

“Professor Haas remains a committed co-founder and chief scientific officer of pureLiFi and we are supportive of the work he’s doing to advance and improve the LiFi ecosystem,” she said. The “ecosystem” improvements include a migration toward laser technology.

The pureLiFi spokesperson pointed out that Haas is actively engaged in leading the LiFi Research and Development Centre (LRDC), an academic/industry group based at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. That group has published research showing laser LiFi’s faster speeds.

Two years ago, Haas told LEDs Magazine that, compared to LEDs, lasers “can go an order of magnitude faster.” At the time, pureLiFi LED systems were operating experimentally at about 1 Gbit/s (slower in the real world), but Haas enthused that, with lasers, “I see a clear path to 100 Gbit/s in the next year or two, and we are looking at 1 Tbit/s in the next five years.”

Terabit Bidirectional Multi-user Optical Wireless System (TOWS) for 6G LiFi

Professor Haas has also been part of a five-year, multi-university project called the Terabit Bidirectional Multi User Optical Wireless System for 6G (TOWS), which with £8 million in UK government funding hopes to hit 1 Tbit/s by 2024. Leeds University is currently leading TOWS along with the University of Cambridge. The vision of this ambitious project is to develop and experimentally demonstrate multiuser Terabit/s optical wireless systems that offer capacities at least two orders of magnitude higher than the current planned 5G optical and radio wireless systems, with a roadmap to wireless systems that can offer up to four orders of magnitude higher capacity.

There are four features of the proposed system which make possible such unprecedented capacities to enable this disruptive advance.

Firstly, unlike visible light communications (VLC), the infrared spectrum will be exploited, and this will provide a solution to the light dimming problem associated with VLC, eliminating uplink VLC glare and thus supporting bidirectional communications.

Secondly, to make possible much greater transmission capacities and multi-user, multi-cell operation, a new type of LED-like steerable laser diode array will be introduced, which does not suffer from the speckle impairments of conventional laser diodes while ensuring ultrahigh-speed performance.

Thirdly, with the added capacity, native OW multi-user systems will be developed to share the resources, these being adaptively directional to allow full coverage with the reduced user and inter-cell interference and finally incorporate RF systems to allow seamless transition and facilitate overall network control, in essence, to introduce software-defined radio to optical wireless. This means that OW multi-user systems can readily be designed to allow very high aggregate capacities as beams can be controlled in a compact manner.

Fourthly, the project will help in developing advanced inter-cell coding and handover for our optical multi-user systems and because of this, it will also allow seamless handover with radio systems when required such as for resilience.

pureLiFi is also a founding member of the Light Communications Alliance, where the spokesperson noted the company works with several other companies to advance LiFi. Those companies span the LiFi ecosystem, including mobile network operators and device makers, as well as companies that could be considered pureLiFi competitors like Signify and the French LiFi company Oledcomm.

Professor Haas is also part of a team from different institutions examining a technique called RIS that could lessen the need for LiFi to have a direct line of sight and thus expand the technology’s physical distance reach.

“RIS emerged recently as a revolutionary concept that transfers the physical propagation environment into a fully controllable and customizable space in a low-cost, low-power fashion,” states the paper’s authors, led by Hanaa Abumarshoud, a research fellow in electronic and electrical engineering at the Glasgow’s University of Strathclyde.

A 2020 article from IEEE Spectrum stated that replacing radio waves with laser light could boost the speed and reach of communications far beyond that promised by 5G. This could enable autonomous cars to talk to each other, enable drones to send high-resolution photos to the ground, and move large volumes of data around smart factories and smart homes.

“There's loads of data that are being accumulated and are being moved around,” says Paul Rudy, chief marketing officer at SLD. “You need to transmit data and you need to do it at [long] range with as fast a data rate as possible.”

Rudy hopes to focus on applications that are data-heavy and require stable connections over a broad range of distances. Those need data rates of many gigabits per second over ranges of perhaps hundreds of meters. Lasers can achieve that at lower power and with less difficulty than RF equipment, Rudy says. As for cars, “You already have headlights in the vehicle,” he says. “Being able to broadcast data from those existing illumination sources can save lots of energy and also save the overall system cost.”

At CES 2020, the company demonstrated data rates of 20 Gb/s with its laser LiFi. The 5G wireless communication that is currently being rolled out should make possible rates of at least 1 Gb/s and could eventually reach 10 Gb/s.

Orange, The First French Operator, Engaging In Li Fi Technology At Their New Store In The Kirchberg Shopping Centre

Chukwuemeka Livinus

Orange, The First French Operator, Engaging In LiFi Technology At Their New Store In The Kirchberg Shopping Centre

Orange

Orange is the first operator to engage in LiFi technology in its new store at the Kirchberg shopping centre. The Kirchberg District Centre is a mixed-use building complex in northeastern Kirchberg, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg containing both an office complex and shopping mall, with their principal tenants respectively being the European Commission's statistical office, Eurostat, and an Auchan hypermarket.

Orange is a French multinational telecommunications corporation. It has 266 million customers worldwide and employs 89,000 people in France, and 59,000 elsewhere. It is the 11th largest mobile network operator in the world and the 3rd largest in Europe after Vodafone, Telefónica. In 2015, the group had a revenue of €40 billion. The company's head office is located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. The current CEO is Stéphane Richard.

Orange has been the company's main brand for mobile, landline, internet and Internet Protocol television (IPTV) services since 2006. It originated in 1994 when Hutchison Whampoa acquired a controlling stake in Microtel Communications during the early 1990s and rebranded it as "Orange". It became a subsidiary of Mannesmann in 1999 and was acquired by France Télécom in 2000. The company was rebranded as Orange on 1 July 2013.

Orange is showing two connectivity technologies by light, in the presence of its experts, Micheline Perrufel (in the center) and Jean-François Bourgeais (behind her), and Zero.1 CEO Marc Fleschen. (Photo: Modern House)

A laptop is sitting on a white column, under a circle of pink and white neon lights. Orange wants to promote the technology of connection by light and wants it to be seen. In reality, the little black boxes that “do the job” are located under the ceiling and are almost invisible to the customer entering the new shop in the Kirchberg shopping centre, on the first floor, opposite Auchan.

"This technology has many advantages over wifi", explains the director of innovation, marketing and technologies of Orange Labs, Micheline Perrufel, who came especially from Rennes for the opening of this store, Monday evening, and the conference organised by the government on the future of technology, from Tuesday to Thursday at Luxexpo. “It offers high-speed connectivity in both directions, downstream like wifi, but also upstream. The signal is more secure because it is more restricted. Latency is also improved. The technology is secure, otherwise, our 28 cybersecurity centres around the world wouldn't want it. ”

After Air France decided to equip 14 A320s planes with Li Fi technology to offer connectivity to its passengers, the operator will begin to market this technology "as complementary to everything else” says Perrufel.

Mainly small boxes between the fibre optic inlet of a house and the exterior wall and other small boxes above the lamps which will serve as relays. Orange Luxembourg's sales director, Mustapha Rahem, stated: “the laptop is connected at speeds that gamers and other flawless connection addicts will love”.

Zero1

ZERO1 is a technology company. With a team of passionate LiFi and OCC (Optical Camera Communication) experts, they create, design and deploy personalized, modular or 100% integrated solutions. ZERO1 is currently present in Europe and Dubai and will soon be active in the United States and Singapore. ZERO1 is the only company in the world that has developed functioning hardware (HALO TM) and software solutions (FOCCAL TM and OCCDATAWARE) to provide OCC solutions with live applications available on all major smartphones - NO DONGLE. Our solutions are deployed in real situations. Looking at the market for location-based services, the challenge for the coming years is to provide ultra-precise location information services in indoor environments. Applications for one-way technology include "Ultra-precise geo-mapping" to confirm whether a user is under a specific light at a given time, visualization of pedestrian traffic resulting in applications for Airports, Museums, Hospitals, railways Stations, Shopping Centers. This provides customers with directions to their area of interest using their smartphones. Contrary to competing technology solutions, any smartphone, as long as it has a camera, can decrypt the signal, allowing mass adoption from the final users. ZERO1 has developed its own hardware and software which makes it fully independent from any other providers. The hardware is produced in France. ZERO1 owns 9 patents and is the creator of OCC, which has become the international standard. OCC is IEEE certified.

Orange also demonstrated another technology, in collaboration with the Luxembourg start-up Zero.1: Optical Camera Communication. The device presented in the shop allows, only in a descending mode unlike the other, to diffuse information by a lamp. The user can put his smartphone under the lamp, explains Jean-François Bourgeais, Orange business analyst, and he has access to the information that we want to give him. The canteen of a French school uses it so that parents can know the menu offered to their children. Others have installed it in museums. Instead of the traditional devices that we rent at reception, visitors can discover the history of a work or a collection by passing their smartphone, in exactly the same way, under a kind of lamp. Unlike the "beacons", which would send a message to the smartphone of someone who passes by a store, promising him 10 or 20% reduction if he buys a product within a quarter of an hour, the user must want to access the information to have it.

“These technologies are less intrusive and less harmful than others,” says Marc Fleschen, CEO of Zero.1. "But like many technologies, it will take the support of users for them to become widespread!"

Orange assures us, while the store was not yet open, on this Monday afternoon: moving to the heart of a business district is a good opportunity to praise the merits of this technology, which can also be easily deployed for office real estate. “Hearing about it is good but to be able to see it working is better”, assures Mr Rahem.

Rolland-Plaisance Media Library Tests Li Fi Technology Products From Lucibel, Ellipz And Signify

Rolland-Plaisance Media Library

The Rolland-Plaisance Media Library, in Évreux, is currently testing Li Fi technology from three Li Fi companies, Lucibel, Ellipz and Signify. This allows visitors to surf the Internet at a high-speed connection via Li Fi technology.

“Évreux is still at the forefront of innovation!"A very proud Guy Lefrand welcomed the representatives of companies in the field of "Li-Fi" to the Rolland-Plaisance media library in the capital of Eure.

But it is to its vice-president in charge of the development of digital uses at the Évreux Portes de Normandie (EPN) agglomeration, Arnaud Mabire (more knowledgeable on the subject), that he left the task of presenting this presented technology as “of the future” and “promising”.

Arnaud Mabire, Vice-president of the Evreux Portes de Normandie agglomeration, stated: “Radio solutions have one drawback, that of going through the body. If we want to increase the flow, we have to increase the waves. Li-Fi does not pass through the body.“

The Rolland-Plaisance Media Library permits visitors to test the technology for three months, until November 2021. Three companies (Lucibel, Ellipz and Signify) present their solutions there. "This showroom allows residents, students, businesses, etc. to be shown that the technology exists and that it can be tested," says Arnaud Mabire.

A first step in the world of Li-Fi, which is predicted to have a bright future. “There are real expectations from this technology,” says EPN's vice president. We believe in. It remains to define the standard and to miniaturize the photoreceptors in order to integrate them into smartphones, tablets or computers, in short, to offer this technology to as many people as possible. It should be tomorrow.

"Devices will be equipped from 2022, but the market should take a lot of amplitude in 2023", announces Eric Deblonde. "The explosion should take place within 4-5 years," predicts Arnaud Mabire. According to specialists and manufacturers, it will be much earlier.

Lucibel Announces The 3rd Generation of Their Li Fi Products, The “Lucipanel”

A few days ago, Lucibel made the announcement of the upcoming unveiling of their 3rd generation Li Fi product, the “Lucipanel LIFI”.

Lucibel

After the release of their 1st generation of Li Fi products in September 2016, the first industrialized LiFi luminaire in the world, followed the release of their 2nd generation of Li Fi products in October 2018, Lucibel is now bringing their third generation, with improved performance and a very sleek design, to the Li Fi market.

Lucibel is an innovative French group that designs and manufactures new-generation lighting products and solutions in France based on LED technology. LED technology is cost efficient, sustainable, and smart. It is transforming the world and is now part of the digital era. Not only are Lucibel lighting solutions compatible with remote management systems. Light can now interact with its surroundings and be controlled and measured in real time. But it also allows for a new medium for data transmission, interactions, and well-being thanks to the development by Lucibel of innovative and smart solutions.

The drafting of a Li Fi standard, which began in July 2018 under the guidance of the international organization IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Standards Association, should end in May 2022 with the publication of a global LiFi standard (802.11bb).

The eagerly awaited outcome of this process is creating a strong stir around this emerging technology. The growing interest in LiFi technology on the part of many players (designers and integrators of Li Fi solutions, manufacturers of smartphones and computers, telecom operators, end customers, etc.) makes it possible to anticipate a rapid acceleration in Li Fi penetration from the start. next year.

Indeed, the publication of a Li Fi standard will allow the native integration of the technology into the hardware (smartphones, PCs, tablets) which will include light emission and reception cells and will be able to interact directly with the Li Fi infrastructure. integrated into the ceiling. The user will thus be able to do without the Li Fi key which is still necessary today to establish the connection between the luminaire and the terminal.

The positioning of the Li Fi technology in the hardware market, expected in 2nd half of 2022, will enable a strong acceleration in the demand for deployments Li Fi infrastructure (lighting networks and Li Fi access points in buildings ceilings) which constitute the strategic development axis of Lucibel on this technology.

A pioneer in LiFi and with a significant customer base, Lucibel will benefit from this expected strong acceleration.

The first two generations of Lucibel LiFi have been marketed to more than 100 different customers (army, banks, companies in the defence sector, R&D centres, head offices, constrained industrial environments, hospitals, nurseries, etc…).

These first users have confirmed their interest in this solution, which allows a secure wireless Internet connection, without radiofrequency waves and offering excellent quality of service.

While the first two LiFi generations were mainly deployed on pilot projects (experimental phases), this third generation, which is compatible with the global standard currently being drafted, will allow a much wider deployment thanks to improved performance. and at a significantly lower marketing price.

LUCIPANEL LIFI, a powerful solution and a very discreet integration of LiFi technology in the luminaire. Convinced that a LiFi luminaire must be both beautiful and efficient, the Lucibel group designed this third generation with the desire that the LiFi functionality is as discreet as possible in the luminaire so that it can be deployed as widely as possible in workspaces, in perfect harmony with other luminaires already installed.

The main technical characteristics of the LUCIPANEL LIFI are as follows:

-A flow, up and down, of 100 Mbps, which is 2 times more than the 2nd generation of Lucibel LiFi products.

-The LiFi functionality is dissociated from the light and works even if the latter is off, thus ensuring continuity of service and optimized electricity consumption.

-The connectivity coverage area of the LUCIPANEL LiFi is approximately 10 m² per luminaire.

-A simultaneous connection is possible for up to 16 users per access point.

-Lucipanel LiFi: a sleek design and discreet integration of LiFi technology

- LUCIPANEL LIFI: LiFi accessible for less than 100 € per m2 connected

To achieve this performance, Lucibel chose bi-directional infrared light which by nature needs a black coloured exit window. By an ingenious and patented process, this black window is replaced by a luminous surface that blends harmoniously with the light diffused by the LED panel. The integration of LiFi functionality into the luminaire is therefore almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

The technological leaps made over the past three years, combined with sharply rising volume forecasts, have made it possible to significantly reduce marketing prices.

The LUCIPANEL LIFI thus makes it possible to offer a lighting and connection solution in LiFi for a price of fewer than 100 € per metre square.

This third-generation will be delivered by Lucibel to its customers from October 15, 2021. The LUCIPANEL LIFI will be presented in preview on the Lucibel group's stand at the Architect @ work Paris trade fair on September 23 and 24.

Frédéric Granotier, Chairman and founder of the Lucibel group, stated that: “With the launch of this third generation, Lucibel confirms its leadership in LiFi technology and remains ahead of its competitors. With good complementarity and technological compatibility with 5G, LiFi, soon to be standardized, offers very attractive prospects for growth and value creation."

Ahmedabad-based Nav Wireless Technologies Pvt Install Li Fi Technology at The Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL)

Nav Wireless Technologies and Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh

Ahmedabad-based Nav Wireless Technologies (NavTech) Pvt Ltd has announced the installation of LiFi technology at India's highest altitude educational organisation, the Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL). This is done to helping the local education fraternity, the company said in a statement here.

SECMOL was founded in 1988 by a group of Ladakhi college students who felt that the education system needed great change. For many years, SECMOL worked on reforming the government school system. At the same time, SECMOL Campus grew into an eco-village where students, staff and volunteers live, work, and learn together. It’s not a conventional school, but a place to pursue practical, environmental, social, and traditional knowledge, values, and skills. The Campus is solar powered and solar heated; students learn ancient Ladakhi songs, dance, and history alongside modern academic knowledge; and the students mainly manage, run, and maintain the campus.

Ladakh is a high desert region in the Indian Himalayas, with a culture and history drawing from Tibet, India, Kashmir, and Central Asia. SECMOL strives to equip young Ladakhis and others growing up in Ladakh, especially those from rural or disadvantaged backgrounds, with the knowledge, skills, perspective, and confidence to choose and build a sustainable future.

Li Fi means transmitting data with a light beam spectrum through open space in outdoor and indoor environments.

Li Fi systems provide ultra-fast data connections and are especially useful in urban areas where radio spectra are congested and also very useful in rural areas wherein Fiber Optic Cables or networks are not reachable.

What is Li Fi?

Li Fi, also known as "Light Fidelity" is a wireless optical networking technology, which uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to transmit data. In 2011, professor Harald Haas made a Li Fi demonstration at the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Global Talk on Visible Light Communication (VLC).

How does Li Fi work?

Li Fi is a high speed, bidirectional, and fully networked wireless communication of data using light. Li-Fi constitutes of several light bulbs that form a wireless network.

Li Fi Benefits

The primary benefits of Li Fi are as follows:

• Security: Provides entirely secure access. Where there is no light there is no data.

• Safety: Does not produce electromagnetic radiation and does not interfere with existing electronic systems.

• Localisation: Allows localisation due to the small coverage area of Li Fi access point - localisation can be used for very precise asset tracking.

• Data density: Provides ubiquitous high-speed wireless access that offers substantially greater data density (data rate per unit area) than RF through high bandwidth reuse.

Li Fi Applications

Li-Fi can be used for so many applications and the list is increasing every year. You can read our updated list of Li-Fi applications at the following link:

University Researchers Released A New Paper On Unexplored Semiconducting Materials for Li Fi And Other Next-Generation Data Communications

Research Team from Surrey, Cambridge and UESTC

A few days ago, a team of researchers from the University of Surrey and the University of Cambridge along with a partnership with the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China released a paper on the development of emerging LED materials—organic semiconductors, colloidal quantum dots and metal halide perovskites—for use in optical communications.

Organic semiconductors are made up of polymers or π-bonded molecules and can conduct when charge carriers are injected into them. Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are nanoscale semiconductor crystals with surface ligands that enable their dispersion in solvents. Metal halide perovskites refer to a large family of crystalline materials with structures similar to that of the natural mineral calcium titanate, which was discovered by Gustav Rose in 1839 and named after Russian mineralogist Lev Perovski. Metal halide perovskites have shown promising optoelectronic properties suitable for light-emitting applications according to a recent paper published by naturematerials.

The Research team examined efforts to improve the modulation performance and device efficiency of these LEDs and consider potential applications in on-chip interconnects and light fidelity (Li Fi, also spell "Li-Fi). They also explore the challenges that exist in developing practical high-speed LED-based data communication systems. The paper was published by natureelectronics .

The continuing development of consumer electronics, mobile communications and advanced computing technologies has led to rapid growth in data traffic, creating challenges for the communications industry. Light-emitting diode (LED)-based communication links are of potential use in both free space and optical interconnect applications, and LEDs based on emerging semiconductor materials, which can offer tunable optoelectronic properties and solution-processable manufacturing, are of particular interest in the development of next-generation data communications.

Dr Aobo Ren, the co-first author and visiting postdoctoral researcher at the University of Surrey, said:

“There’s excitement surrounding CQDs and perovskites because they offer great promise for low-power, cost-effective and scalable communications modules.

“Although the conventional inorganic thin-film technologies are likely to continue to play a dominant role in optical communications, we believe that LEDs based on these materials can play a complementary role that could have a sizeable impact on the industry.”

Hao Wang, the co-first author and PhD student at the University of Cambridge, said:

“Future applications of LEDs will not be limited to the fields of lighting and displays. The development of LEDs based on these solution-processable materials for optical communication purposes has only begun, and their performance is still far from what’s required. It is necessary and timely to discuss the potential strategies and present technical challenges for the deployment of real-world communication links using these LEDs from the material, device and system aspects.”

Professor Jiang Wu, the corresponding author from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, said:

“Photonic devices for the Internet of Things (IoT) and 6G communication systems need to be high-speed, low-cost and easy to integrate. Organic semiconductors, CQDs and perovskites are promising materials that could be used to complement and/or compete with conventional inorganic counterparts in particular optoelectronic applications.”

Dr Wei Zhang, the corresponding author and Senior Lecturer from the University of Surrey, said:

“IoT and 6G communication systems represent a trillion-dollar market in the next few years. We are proud to collaborate with the top research teams in this field and accelerate the development of emerging data communication technology for rapid entry to the market in the next decade.”

Signify Joins HomeGrid Forum For The Expansion Of G.hn Technology Deployment With Li Fi Technology

A few days ago, HomeGrid Forum announced that Signify has joined the organisation for expanding the innovation and deployment of G.hn technology for Li Fi applications.

HomeGrid Forum

According to their website, HomeGrid Forum (HGF) is an industry alliance formed to support the development and deployment of a unified coaxial, phone line, powerline, and plastic optical fibre home networking technology called G.hn (Gigabit Home Networking). G.hn technology is based on standards developed by the UN’s International Telecommunications Union – Telecom (ITU-T) standards development organization.

HomeGrid Certification ensures compliance and interoperability (C&I) of silicon and systems through plugfests and rigorous C&I testing. A logo is issued for certified systems’ packaging and documentation of G.hn-based systems. HGF Certification ensures that retail customers and Service Providers have confidence in, and great satisfaction with all HGF G.hn Certified Certified products.

HomeGrid Forum members comprise an eco-system covering all aspects of the technology from Retailers to Service Providers, Utilities to Smart Grid think tanks, System Developers to Test Houses and Silicon Companies.

HomeGrid currently has four workgroups: a Clean Tech/Smart Grid/Smart Energy workgroup focused on in-home energy management and utility Distribution Automation and AMI applications for G.hn, a G.hn Contributions workgroup that continuously works to develop advanced enhancements for wired home networking, a Compliance & Interoperability workgroup, and a Marketing workgroup focused on promoting all HomeGrid Certified Products and technologies.

The purpose of HomeGrid Forum is to:

Lead the work within the ITU-T to continuously expand G.hn, through a sustained effort to improve and extend this advanced home networking technology for any in-home wiring (coaxial cable, phone line, powerline and plastic optical fiber).
Encourage and evangelize the adoption and widespread deployments of G.hn by Service Providers and through Retail channels.
Provide a clear migration path for all legacy wired technologies to G.hn, where coexistence and G.hn’s ability to work over any wire type enables Service Providers to extend the life of their existing network investments while increasing coverage, robustness, and throughput in the home.
Maintain a comprehensive compliance and interoperability program to promote an ecosystem of compliant silicon and interoperable products based on the ITU-T G.hn standards.

Livia Rosu, HomeGrid Forum President, stated: “This is an extremely exciting time for the LiFi community, and we are thrilled to welcome Signify as a Contributor member. Together we will enable innovation and network infrastructure that are fully interoperable with a growing number of devices, at a time when demand for reliable and secure connectivity is increasing”.

Livia Rosu further stated that “LiFi will build on an open standard to ensure full interoperability and widespread market acceptance. Signify’s expertise will be instrumental as the Forum continues to innovate G.hn technology for LiFi use cases in airports, banks, factories, government and defence organizations – all of which require simultaneous high security and low latency connectivity.”

Signify

Signify is the new brand name of Philips Lighting. The name change occurred in March 2018 to represent the transformation from an analogue lighting company into digital lighting and Internet of Things (IoT) company. Signify is the world leader in lighting for professionals, consumers and lighting for the Internet of Things. The company provides lighting solutions for professional segments such as automotive, healthcare, horticulture, office, outdoor, phototherapy, petrol stations, solar, purification, schools, fashion, cinema, and more. These lighting solutions include indoor and outdoor luminaires, lamps, electronics, lighting controls, lighting control software, IoT systems and platforms.

Signify has also other brands under its belt such as Philips, Interact, Modular Lighting Instruments, Luceplan, Color Kinetics, ILTI Luce and Philips Hue.

“Standardization is the cornerstone for LiFi interoperability, which is an essential condition for lowering barriers to adoption, encouraging competition and innovation, and building consumer confidence,” said Musa Unmehopa, Head of Ecosystems and Strategic Alliances at Signify. “We join HomeGrid Forum to grow the LiFi ecosystem in which we collectively create and build a global market where we can all compete effectively and serve consumers.”

Dr. Leonard Dauphinee, Vice President and CTO of Broadband Products at MaxLinear added: “Signify’s Trulifi product series is embedding MaxLinear’s G.hn chipsets to modulate the light waves to transmit data and to provide backhaul over existing wires, such as powerline. By leveraging their lighting infrastructure, Signify customers get the best of both worlds: a great lighting experience and a high speed wireless G.hn-encoded LiFi connection with a reliable G.hn wired backbone.”

Trulifi system

In 2019, Signify launched a new Li-Fi system called “Trulifi”. Trulifi uses light waves to enable highly reliable, secure two-way wireless communications at speeds far above most conventional workplace wireless technologies.

Trulifi uses optical wireless transceiver technology built, or retrofitted, into Philips luminaires. This means customers do not have to replace their existing lighting infrastructure to receive great quality light and wireless connectivity.

The new Li-Fi system comprises of a USB Network Access adapter, Li-Fi enabled LED lights and a Trulifi-6002 Plug-In Optical Transceiver. The Trulifi-enabled luminaires can provide wireless connectivity at speeds up to 150 Megabits per second (Mbps) over large spaces, such as meeting rooms and office floors. There is seamless handover between each Trulifi-enabled luminaire enabling users to roam around. The speed is fast enough to stream simultaneously 30 1080p HDTV movies. A USB-access key, plugged into a laptop, is needed to receive the LiFi signal and acts as an emitter to send data back to the luminaire.

The Trulifi range also includes a fixed point-to-point system, up to 250 Mbps speed, which acts as a wireless cable. This is ideal for mobile devices connectivity. This Li-Fi system can also be useful to connect robots or machines in radio frequency (RF) harsh environments like industrial plants, or hospitals where RF communications may not be permitted, or where there’s a need to send and receive large data files securely and quickly. Currently, Trulifi is aimed at professional markets, including offices, hospitality, retail, industry, construction and healthcare.
